@stuiec: Yes! I watched a lot of Reverend Manning tapes on youtube during the campaign but couldn’t retrieve his name from the old memory bank. Good for him on appearing at the Tea Party!

I loved the black guy who said he was looking for racists but hadn’t found any…was that Mason Weaver as well?

The Long-Legged Mack Daddy minister of whom you speak is Harlem’s Reverend Manning. He himself attended the 9/12 TEA Party in Washington, DC, carrying a sign calling Obama a Long-Legged Mack Daddy: http://angrywhitedude.com/?p=2461

Mason Weaver also appeared, saying, “I thought you might want to hear a Black man speak to you without a Tele-Prom-Ter.” http://www.breitbart.tv/black-speaker-at-dc-rally-mocks-obamas-teleprompter-dependence/

@wesmorgan1: “Long-legged Mack Daddy” is a phrase coined by a Harlem minister, whose name escapes me at the moment. He obviously despises him.

I am waiting for 0zer0 to disavow the fringe. I won’t hold my breath.

I believe the death of the black family is a direct result of LBJ’s so-called “War on Poverty”. Mothers with children on AFDC (Aid to Families of Dependent Children), married or unmarried, were not allowed to have the father in the house. It perpetuated the welfare mentality; have more kids, get more money. It also destroyed the black male sense of worth. Unintended consequences. Not feeling sorry for people victimized by this thinking…many pulled themselves out of this quagmire and found a way to independence, but we were swimming in this low-life thinking from the 70′s on. We have LBJ’s social engineering to thank for a lot of this.

Here’s an interesting article on racism.

If They Talk Long Enough, A Truth Slips Out

I just love it when New York Times columnists accidently tell the truth. Especially when they expose themselves in the process. Take Bob Herbert’s column today, for example.

First he explains that Jimmy Carter spoke one of the 10 great truths in America when he charged anyone disagreeing with the Obama Doctrine with racism. He even describes Carter’s statement as a Homer Simpson “doh!” moment: if you don’t see racism in the emotional agitation against the President, you,sir, are an idiot and a liar. Then he turns around to remind us that St. Jimmy himself:

(… During his presidential campaign in 1976, … blithely let it be known that he had no problem with residents “trying to maintain the ethnic purity of their neighborhoods,” and he tossed around ugly terms like “black intrusion” and “alien groups.” He later apologized.)

Hmmm. Can apologizing make you not a racist? He maybe needs to apologize some more if that’s the case, as he’s the only one I’ve ever heard call Obama a “black boy.” And it just seems to roll off his tongue.

Herbert has inadvertently exposed the truth that non-racists everywhere have always suspected: those who scream “racist” loudest and most frequently, who see racism no matter where they turn, are usually the biggest racists in the room. I reach this conclusion because pretty much everything else in Herbert’s column appears to be angry accusations of racism hurled in the direction of the other party.

But hey, read Herbert’s column yourself and tell me who you think is stirring up racism for their own purposes.

It’s a two-edged sword.

The people who play the race card are wrong, regardless of their place on the political spectrum.

Consider Michael Steele. The man actually went on Meet the Press and said that he found it “curious” that Obama would call upon one of only two black governors to step away from reelection. He followed that up by wondering aloud how the “black leadership” would react to it. That’s playing the race card, plain and simple.

Now, the people who attack as “racist” mere criticism of Obama’s policies are every bit as wrong. Let me say that again; the people who attack policy criticism as “racist” are every bit as wrong.

Finally, you get the fringe. If you don’t disavow the fringe, it subtracts from one’s true (and entirely reasonable) criticisms. When the head of Tea Party Express characterizes the President as “welfare thug” and “racist-in-chief,” there’s no policy criticism there. When the protester carries the sign referring to Obama as a pimp (the “long-legged Mack Daddy” signs) or names him a “lyin’ African”–both were seen at the 9/12 march–they need to be disavowed. Those with rational, principled criticisms need to say “we aren’t part of that.” That’s true whether the fringe is left or right…

[...] Race Relations in the Obama Era: Why It Will Get Worse & How We Can Fix It [Reader Post] [...]

It was pathetic to see Obama’s defenders trot out the “you can’t say that about a Black man!” line. What they are really saying is that IN THEIR MINDS Obama is not capable of defending his policies on their merits — since we have to presume they agree with the policies on the merits, it must mean that they think Obama isn’t up to the job.

So the irony is that Obama’s critics are willing to treat him like any other President, and his defenders treat him like a hot-house flower… or maybe like someone who they fear advanced through his career on the basis of affirmative action.

So remind me – just who are the racists?

Race relations has been booted back (by president O’Dumbo) to at least the 50′s, maybe even the 1850′s.

I will be blunt. It will be over when he steps down as the being the first marxist President of the United States and Blacks began to seriously ask themselves who they really are and want to be in the American society and culture.
We need to get rid off these stupit racial description that we fill out to get a job, to go to the Doctor. Who cares that I am a Hispanic Jew?. Ask me for my level of education and my income level and that should be enough! And everybody born in this country legally should be an American, that’s it.
I demand the same thing from all the Latinos too. There is no country in South America that has sub-racial categories or ethnic groups classification. There are no Arab-Argentinian. In Brasil where they had slavery as well,, there is no Afro-Brasilan or no German-Brasilian today, they are simply Brasilians and very patriotic. . In Colombia there is no African Colombian or in Uruguay. People are just what their passport says. The day we can get rid of the idiotic race classification , a lot of souls will began to heal.
